[RFC] Transactional publish in `npm-publish workspace` command

[vighnesh153]

When running npm publish --workspace packages --transactional in a monorepo, it should run in a transaction so that if publishing of any (or multiple) package fails, it automatically rollback the other published packages.

This seems like a good enhancement on top of #92, which remains very critically needed.

This has been brought up many times in the past and is essentially a registry feature not a cli feature. There is currently no way to "roll back" an already published package. That version is out and can not be used again.

well, I'd argue that the cli component proposed here is blocked by registry improvements such as #92 pointed by @ljharb above, that could potentially unlock a transactional-like publishing experience for workspaces once all packages are in a staging area
